Do raccoons like snow?
Before I get into the story, can I ask you to do me a favor? If you are a client or referral source, I am doing a testimonials video and need five minutes of your time. Email me if you are willing to help me out. Thanks so much in advance.
And now on to the main attraction of this post....
Can you believe we had our 5th day off of school because of snow and ice? I have lived in Denton most of my life and have never seen four days in a row like we had week before last. The last three winters have each had more snow than I remember seeing before. Brad and Matthew are starting to think it is normal. Click here to find out about our raccoon adventure.
Facebook is the new venue for the "Grandparent Scam"
Officials with the Better Business Bureau of Northeast California are warning older adults about a new twist in an old telephone scam that preys on grandparents who think they are helping their grandchildren in an emergency. The scam, which first surfaced in 2008, involves a grandparent receiving a call from a person claiming to be their grandson or granddaughter who is in legal trouble in a foreign country and needs emergency cash. To make the pleas seem even more urgent, calls are usually made in the middle of the night, and the scammer always insists that funds be sent by wire or overnight delivery.
In the past, wary would-be victims could easily rattle the scammer by asking personal questions only certain people could answer, such as the name of a childhood pet, their nickname, or the college they attended. Today, however, with the popularity of social networking sites, such as MySpace, Facebook, and even Twitter, the bureau said the scammer may already have that information and a lot more.
